Mykhaylo Mudryk has once again proven to the footballing world why he is wanted by so many Premier League clubs. The Ukrainian forward produced an eye-catching display in the Champions League against Celtic which included netting his third goal in this season's competition.
Dubbed the 'Ukrainian Neymar', Mudryk has plenty of admirers from England's top flight including Newcastle, Everton and Brentford, with Arsenal even making a late move for the 21-year-old in the summer transfer window.
But after the deal fell through, Arsenal fans have been forced to watch on with envy as his first Champions League appearance of the season saw him star in Shakhtar's dominating 4-1 victory over RB Leipzig notching a goal and two assists.

The Ukrainian international has now provided football fans with another star-making match to add to his highlight reel with his performance at Celtic Park on Tuesday evening.
With the hosts in front, Mudryk picked up the ball just inside his own half before driving towards goal, his close control and agile movements allowed no Celtic defender to stop his momentum and after reaching the edge of the box he unleashed a fierce drive which flew beyond the flailing arms of Joe Hart.
Mudryk also should have had an assist to his name after showing electric pace to breeze past Cameron Carter-Vickers as if he wasn't there, before keeping his composure to slide the ball across for what was an open goal for Danylo Sikan - who somehow missed the target.
Shakhtar are third in their Champions League group behind Real Madrid in first and RB Leipzig, with a game against the German side last up. While a move for Mudryk was not possible in the summer, the Gunners may be hoping for a chance to sign him in January.
